It worked. I recommend it. A couple of the "fragments" which did indeed pass on through the system were still 3-4 mm. Not the most pleasant thing, but infinitely preferable to the alternative.

It's quicker and easier with a sledgehammer. Just saying....

I'll share one and you guys can share.

I learned last year that there is more to being the "R" than tossing the ball.

Now, I know there is more, but I had a problem in a game where the 3 of us weren't calling the game the same. U1 and I were calling it tight, while U2 was calling it loose.

What I learned was, I need to get U2 to get with our game since I was the "R".

I didn't do it because I didn't know how. We've got to lean to communicate without offending a partner. I have since learned to do that.

The players need consistency.

What have you learned?

Or maybe you needed to get with his game. I've had plenty of mediocre games as R.
